It has an extensive repertoire presented by creative choreography, assisted by Julián Amézquita and eccentric costume designs by Wilson Fernando Mesa, and a cast of energetic dancers who showcase the artistic character of Latin Folklore that makes our program an exciting, colorful and learning experience. During his career, Mr. Moreno has taught Colombian and Latin dance to young and adults who have found their passion, and a way to stay mentally healthy.
